Christian McCaffrey will finally leave Carolina after lots of trading rumors around him. Even though Rams and Bills were in the hunt, a surprising candidate appeared to steal him: the San Francisco 49ers.

Now, after days and days of rumors, Christian McCaffrey will play for the 49ers. according to Adam Schefter and Ian Rapoport, NFL insiders, Carolina and San Francisco reached an agreement for the running back.
Ian Rapoport gave the details of the deal and it is a huge one for the Panthers. Carolina will receive a2nd round pick in 2023, a third-rounder in 2023, and a fourth-round pick in 2023. Plus, a fifth-rounder in 2024. San Francisco will only get Christian McCaffrey.
